LGBT interest userbox
Hi! After participating in some discussion about userboxes, I've decided to create a userbox specifically for people who are interested in LGBT issues. I like this userbox a lot because it doesn't force people to take a stand on LGBT-related political issues or declare a particular identity, but just expresses a common interest in editing LGBT-related articles on Wikipedia. I saw your name on the list of people who are interested in this kind of thing at the LGBT notice board, and saw when I visited your userpage that you are pretty comfortable with userboxes, so I thought I'd let you know about this one in case you want to list it on your user page. I am hoping that people will see it, click the link to the notice board, and become more involved in editing LGBT-related articles on Wikipedia. The userbox is at Template:User LGBT interest. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 06:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Sandbox/Dead End
Please observe the rules of this game - you may only take one turn at a time. Once you have added a word you must wait until someone else has had a go before you have another go. I have removed all of the words you added that are against these rules. Thryduulf 14:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Whoops! I didn't get that when reading the rules.  Aside from a parenthetical remark, it isn't listed in the rules.  I'll make that change to hightlight that rule.  Sorry! -- T .o .n .y 14:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Concerning Aggelos Sakketos
Hi. I see you made an addition to the article Aggelos Sakketos. As you correctly say "it does not cite resources" The problem is : I do not have any resources. I know the writer just as he appears in various Greek TV shows. I cannot even prove that he exists as I have no evidence. The only clue I can offer is: Fellow Greek wikipedians such as user:Avg and user:Project2501a are also familiar with the writer and would support that what I wave written is real. Apart from this I have nothing. I hope this is enough evidence for you.
 * User:Panosfidis

I have some of his books. I could present the book covers and some pages as evidence but I have no copyright for them. Presenting them in wiki until the orpanbot deletes them would be sufficient as evidence ?
 * User:Panosfidis

O.K. here are some covers. ( the orphan bot will be furious ! ) I could also add the page of his book publisher. His name appears there at least 50 times.

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Thanking you with warm regards Mahitgar (talk) 05:32, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
